allies as they were holding a general assembly to designate the island of DelosThat is, the temple
of Apollo on that island. as their common treasury and to deposit there all the money
they collected, and towards the war which they suspected would come from the Persians to impose
a levy upon all the cities according to their means, so that the entire sum collected would
amount to five hundred and sixty talents.According to
Thuc. 1.96.2 and Plut. Arist.

Vol. 1 (1939).
And when he was appointed to allocate the levy, he distributed
